A lawn is of course the perfect ground cover. You can even use grass as ground cover a second time by scattering the cut grass under bushes, where it can simply be left to decompose. This is especially beneficial for shrubs with roots close to the surface of the soil.

If the lawn in your garden is in need of maintenance, or if you plan to lay a new lawn, the period between September and mid-October is the best time for this. During this period the soil temperature is still sufficiently high for the grass seed to germinate properly.

Nothing looks as fresh and vibrant as a carpet of green grass in your garden! In the summer, the grass has to put up with not just high temperatures but also high levels of humidity. So that you can get your lawn looking stunning even in August we will describe all the most important tasks here.
